「I, have an objective.」

After a bit of silence, Shion began to talk.

As long as he didn’t know what intentions this Sylphid called Luuty had, he had no choice but to cope in a way that wouldn’t be a lie.

「An objective, is it?」

「Yes.」

「May I ask what it is?」

Shion nodded, and told her about the objective that he had originally came here for.

「To explain the mystery of the Alva. For that sake, it would be best for me to have as much time dedicated to ti as possible.」

The Alva.

The Humanoid Mazoku that possessed bodies with a black lustre and wings like that of a bat.

Said to carry an airspace transfer technique body, they are actually able to use attack magic as well.

And then, they are heterogenous Mazoku that detest all other life-forms without exception.

Having not existed in Demon King Gramfia’s era, it was unclear as to where they were born from.

And then, it seemed that they were unable to understand the language shared by almost all of the races.

And yet, despite that, their intelligence was most likely high.

Even for Shion who had actually met with them, that was all he knew about them.

Going by the details of the past, it was certain that if they were to be left alone, they would be something that brings about harm to the Dark Continent, to the Zadark Kingdom.

Even if he had no results in anything else, this was something that he needed to do something about as much as possible.

「The Alva……is it.」

「Yes, even my coming here today was because that was my original objective.」

「Is that, so……」

Luuty pondered over it.

That look of hers, rather than looking as if she were trying to ascertain the authenticity of Shion’s words, it felt as if she was thinking was about something else.

Covering her mouth with her hand, Luuty would sometimes let her gaze wander about in the air.

After a bit of time, Luuty met her gaze with Shion’s gaze.

「Shion-dono, what do you think of the Alva?」

Shion was reminded of his own recognition of the Alva by the sudden question.

If he were to simply say how he thought of them, the word 「annoyance」 would be an accurate answer.

The Alva also had an appearance that was easily understood to be evil and induced fear.

With them also having severe behavior, they were famous as being one of the symbols of fear in the Shutaia Continent.

Shion knew nothing about them, but it was a fact that they were said to be the Demon King’s advanced detachment and that they were taking actions that would assent to that.

Despite being existences that are such extreme annoyances, both their ecology and their habitats are unknown even now.

Even though they were treated as a species of Mazoku, it looked as if they were out of place even among those Mazoku.

「……They are something that I just cannot understand. That is all I can say about them right now.」

「An enemy of mankind, wouldn’t that framework apply to them?」

「If the Alva’s attack targets were only Humans, then it would probably be enough to call them that.」
